    "You're hired" And just like that, Grant can basically quit YT and be a golf coach to Pro Athletes. (well, he wouldn't but that's how things like this start!) I love that all these elite athletes turn to golf for a challenge. The rest of us who've played since we were kids "Yea, welcome to the club. Weve fought this game our whole lives!" LOL
    Its the patience that Grant has. Thats a mark of a great teacher - patience.
    Great content. Ive been working on this over the winter and spring. Just everything from 80-40.

    • @noomade
      @noomade 2 года назад +4

      Given how late this guy started playing, and knowing that starting as a kid literally makes it several orders of magnitude easier to develop a good swing,... you get the impression that some people are just built differently. Elite athlete was the correct description!

    • @Real28
      @Real28 2 года назад +2

      @@noomade I've seen this all too often. These athletes understand the body and how it moves. It helps them have a swing that's 70-80% there. Then they just need to hire someone to fill in the finer points and they end up single digit handicaps.
      But thats their thing, they're athletic. If I asked them to learn to write code like I do, they'd be lost. It took me several years to get good at golf and these guys can find it in half the time.
      But it's still fun to watch them struggle in this game. It takes no prisoners.

    • @noomade
      @noomade 2 года назад +2

      @@Real28 Well, I agree generally. The coding thing is not a good comparison though. My main point was about the difference in learning new mechanics after childhood.
      Of course the person would have needed some form of development of _some_ mechanics and training structure in the first place.
      Your coding analogy is tantamount to saying that someone who had the potential to be an athlete but never went outside or played any sport and just sat in front of the tv all the time, would be lost trying to learn something at age 30. Yes of course they would.
      Coding requires some foundations in mental skills that a lot of people don't acquire.
      I am a pretty good programmer (so I have been told anyway) and I started coding as an adult and it was not my main focus. But then again I have strong background mathematics and went to pretty challenging schools that laid a foundation that allowed me to pick things like that up pretty easily.
      I was a really good tennis player as kid and was very coachable in all sports, but picked up golf as an adult and it took me so much longer than in it did for all the children in my extended families, who generally were much less capable than I was at their ages.
      I am confident that had many of these athletes been given my educational background and support structure, they would certainly not be lost when it comes to things such as coding. So many of the athletes you see, come from social structures that never allow them to develop the foundations the first place.
      Have you seen Magnus Carlson play poker? He started playing poker as an adult and would pass as a pro. It brings me back what I wrote; some people are just built differently!
      Anyway, just realised I have waffled on for way too long. TL;DR People that are the very best in their fields tend to be very impressive people in general!

      @@noomade ha, you went way, way too deep my friend. My statement was meant to be more vague and general, not to get into the deep weeds of opportunities, social upbringings and the like! But no worries, you aren't wrong.
      What I meant to say, is these guys are athletically gifted, so athletic things come a lot easier to them. I am more intellectually gifted, so things like coding come easier to me. I did not go to college or have any great opportunities to learn it. I just decided well after HS to start learning one and my ability to understand and absorb that kind of content is easy for me, so here we are. I know people way smarter than me in general who struggle with it, it's just about how your brain and body are wired.
      Athletes are gonna athlete. Simple as that. It's so cool to see, too.

  • @gabeberger685
    @gabeberger685 2 года назад

    one thing ive noticed from all my previous golf instructors/coaches is that they all hammer the idea of positive reinforcement. The beautiful thing about each golf shot is that weather the result is good or bad there is always something positive to take away from it. It can be solid contact, correct alignment or even something as simple as a parallel takeaway.. as a golf instructor it is super important to always omit confidence to the student on any level. Grant does this so so well

    Grant, this live teaching session is awesome. This is the quality of content you may consider posting on GOOD GOOD LABS? You really shine with teaching random golfers vs the GG Team. You might even consider creating a "season" with select students where you're on the course teaching them how to golf. Then at the end of the season you guys can have an 18 hole tournament with the students, three videos, 6x6x6...
    Then do a follow-up video interviewing the students and how they feel now from when they started with you, what they learned and share how they improved, and how "Good Good" it feels to be on the course with the added tools....

    He did really well once you gave him that one piece of advice about controlling distance by limiting his backswing. This is definitely one of the more difficult shots to master because it's not at a distance that anyone typically practices. Most people are practicing with their driver and irons with full swings and also putting. Practicing with wedges doesn't get a lot of respect but having good control of them is the key to getting up and down. It's amazing how much faster natural athletes are able to pick things up.
